16GB DDR3L SODIMM for ThinkPad

This 16GB DDR3L 1600MHz CL11 module targets owners of the Lenovo ThinkPad W550s, X250 and Yoga 460 who need more memory for multitasking. It runs at 1.35V and fits the 204-pin SODIMM slots used by those models.

Simple DIY installation

The module is unbuffered and non-ECC, so it drops into the laptop slot without extra configuration. The main risk is buying DDR3L for a system that requires 1.5V DDR3, which will not work. Watch the OWC installation video if you have never opened a ThinkPad before.

Verify your exact model

Confirm your laptop is a W550s, X250 or Yoga 460 before ordering, because other ThinkPad generations use different memory specifications. Check that the BIOS is up to date and that the chassis has a free SODIMM slot or that you are replacing an existing stick.
